The numbers on the Bostitch Model 607 are able to be rotated when it is compressed into its stamp position. Either use a toothpick, wooden pointer, or fingers to rotate the numbers to 999999. It is important not to use anything hard to rotate the number wheels as this could lead to damage of the numbers themselves. I have found it easier to start with the largest number,rotate it to its respective 9, and then move to the next lower number. Once at 999999, when it retracts it will force rotate all the numbers to 000000.

The
machine counts all purge (cleaning) operations in order to prevent the
internal ink absorber box from overflowing with purged ink. An "initial
purge", for example, advances the purge counter by 187 + 420 = 607. When
the purge counter approaches 6400, an internal "Machine Error 46" is
generated. Further purge operations are prohibited, and therefore the
printer becomes unuseable.

When an internal Machine Error 46 is
generated, the user will see an "Unable to Clean" external message and
will be unable to use the printer. The "Unable to Clean" external
message can relate to many different internal error codes however.

The
user can establish the internal Machine Error Code as follows: pull the
mains cable out of the machine (power off), hold down the Menu/Set key,
re-insert the mains cable into the machine (power on). The internal
Machine Error Code will be displayed.

If there is a Machine Error
46, it is necessary to dismantle the printer, replace the ink absorber
box (or possibly break the ink absorber box open and clean its absorbent
sponges under a tap), re-assemble the printer and reset the purge
counter to zero.

All you need to do is to reset the purge counterTo reset purge counter
1) Enter machine maintenance mode (on MFC240C all four photo/copy/fax/scan lights flash in maintenance mode). Care is needed in maintenance mode, otherwise critical settings may be inadvertently corrupted.
FAX models with numerical keypads: Press the Menu/Set, *, 2, 8, 6 and 4 keys within two seconds. (if you fail to complete the correct key sequence within two seconds, press the Stop key to try again).
Other (non-FAX) models: Press the Menu/Set and Black Start keys. Next press the “up arrow” key four times to enter the maintenance mode).
2) Press the 8 then 0 keys in the initial stage of the maintenance mode to call up the machine’s log information list (function code 80).
3) Press the Black Start key several times to scroll through the log information list to reach the purge counter. The purge counter is the 25th item in the list.
4) Press the 2, 7, 8, and 3 keys in this order to reset the purge count to zero.
5) Press the Stop/Exit key to return to the initial stage of the maintenance mode.
6) Press the 9 key twice to return to the standby state

You don't have to change the waste ink absorber. There are two in the MP130 and they cost about $15 each. I have found though that you can just reset the counter and let the printer run without any problems. I have done this with three now with no problems. Reset procedure is:

1.Start Printer2.Press button MENU, then SCAN, COPY and again SCAN – the printer will go into the service menu. 3.select NVRAM ACCESS and further BY OK. 4.select SET Abs- m level and reduce to zero. 5.select SET Abs- r level (if there is) and reduce to zero. 6.Turn off printer by button POWER.
